Step 12: Thank you and Ideas!

Ideas:Make the filter in a cnc millmake more lines, for a cross-flare...Ok, that's it, i'm out! :)Thank you for reading, feel free to comment and chec...

Hi,

in this project i want to show you how you can build yourself a "Lens-Flare-Filter" for your DSLR or Digitalcamera! With the filter you can easy create a cinnematic look on your pictures and Videos, wthout spending much money on expensive programs! We will use a few 3D printed parts, theese can be replaced with parts created in a cnc mill or by selfmade parts, but i will present you the 3D printed version i made.

Step 2: The Case!

Now we need to make the case of the filter. The easiest way and the way we will do it is, to get a case of another filter which we dont need, or which is useless. Now it is importand, that we get a case, what is openable. You can see that is it openable if it has 2 small notches on it frontside. Otherwise it may is glued, what means it is not useable for us.

Remember to get a case what fit onto your lens!

Step 3: Open Case

Now he have to open our filter case, for this we use a small screwdriver.Put him into a notch and try to turn it left! Pay attention, we dont want to break the case...

If it doesnt work try the other notch!

After one or two turns it should be openable by hands, try that, it is much more easier!

Step 4: Remove the old filter!

After we opened it we have to remove the old filter. normally it should fall out when you turn it, if not, just pop it out! As we dont need the old filter anymore, you can destroy it. We only need the case.

i am not a photographer, but i came to see this because i was curious about the pic in my email newsletter...that filter across the lens made no sense to me, lol!! i particularly appreciate that at the end, you explained what this particular item is used for, and what effect will result...so many submitters just assume that the people reading the instructables are already knowledgeable, and forget those of us who -need- the clues, lol!!
